Contains correspondence, notes, and newspaper clippings concerning Henderson's congressional campaigns, 1960-1974. Henderson concentrated most of his time and attention to the Democratic primary in May of each election year. There is much less material about the November election. The Campaign Files contain many lists of electoral officials, party leaders, and targeted support groups, e.g. teachers, veterans. The papers reveal the rising importance of television in political campaigns of the mid to late 1960s.
